What is Emergency Lighting?
Emergency lighting is a backup lighting system designed to activate automatically when normal power fails — typically during fire or power cuts. It ensures:
-
Safe exit routes are visible
-
Emergency signs are illuminated
-
Stairs, corridors and doors are well lit
-
Panic is reduced in high-risk environments
Types of emergency lighting include:
-
Escape route lighting – guiding people to the nearest exit
-
Open area (anti-panic) lighting – preventing panic in large rooms
-
High-risk task area lighting – supporting dangerous operations in blackouts
-
Exit signs – lit signs that clearly mark emergency exits
Fire Safety and Compliance
Fire safety regulations in the UK (including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005) require buildings to have sufficient emergency lighting installed and maintained. Landlords, business owners and duty holders must:
-
Ensure emergency lighting works if the mains fail
-
Test lights regularly (monthly and annually)
-
Fix faulty luminaires or batteries promptly
-
Keep records of all tests and maintenance
Failure to comply can result in fines, legal action, or worse — preventable loss of life.
